Al Cowlings Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 We would have been better off to give that Money to Jim Harbough, Im sure he would have loved deer in his back yard and our down home college atmosphere. Now this thread is more about getting the right coach not that we shouldn't have gotten Marrio, who I like. I'm just saying that would have been wiser to pull out all the stops to get Harbaugh here. Good post. Mario took like three days to sign a contract that NOBODY else in the NFL would have given him. If 30 other teams would have offered him that money he would have signed in seconds, but it took him three days and his wife coming in, etc, etc. He will be a good player for Buffalo. Is he ever going to be worth the money we signed him for-NO. Look at what tampa did in FA last year-that is how you improve a team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDD Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 He cant be labelled as a mistake after just one game. After 6 or 7 then maybe Nobody and I mean nobody in Buffalo complained about the signing. The guy is over-rated but definitely upgraded the team in a major area of need. He'll have better games but no one around here is going to confuse him with #78 or #94 for that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdog1960 Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Howard rattled him. just what the coach wanted to do. Mario should have knocked him out and taken them both out of the game. we would have been better for it maybe look, it didn't have to be assault. we see offensive lineman's heads snap back almost every play from a defensive lineman's push. he just needed to do it a little harder.

Al Cowlings Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 What did Tampa do in FA? Carl Nicks, Eric Wright, Vincent Jackson A guard, a CB and a big WR, at a lot less cost. The mario Williams contract will be an albatross on the Bills for years. Nobody and I mean nobody in Buffalo complained about the signing. The guy is over-rated but definitely upgraded the team in a major area of need. He'll have better games but no one around here is going to confuse him with #78 or #94 for that matter. He will have better games, no doubt. If you think hre is worth that contract you are kidding yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Barbarian Posted September 10, 2012 Author Share Posted September 10, 2012 Thanks for not letting me down. I expected a middle school childish insult coming from someone who posts with the mental acuity and intellect of an 11 yr old. you love me :wub: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eme123 Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 I'd be willing to bet the same people who complain about the free agent who doesn't live up to the hype are the same people that moan when he doesn't get signed in the first place.

Buffalo Barbarian Posted September 10, 2012 Author Share Posted September 10, 2012 Top tier head coach? How bout Shanahan? Oh wait. He said "no" to Buffalo already. Cowher said no also. Which is why the Bills got Chan. So stop with the top tier crap. We have a top tier D Line, and had a top tier running back. I will say this though. I can see a coaching change if this ship doesn't get turne around. And yet another lesson on why the grass isn't always greener on the other side.

machine gun kelly Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 The Bucs also had some good drafts in the past that did not gel due to injuries until today with another good draft. The Bucs had a sound o line before they lost davin Joseph. Their draft with Doug Martin was fantastic from Boise state. He played phenomenal and the previous d line drafts of bowers and McCoy looked sharp today. I watched and they put they Pressured the Qb like we were supposed to do. I live in Tampa and was so proud of my Bucs and so disgusted with my bills. My bills have always come first for the last 20 hrs but I'm sick of this kind of disappointment every freaking year. We're no better than last year. Just watch the jets as they'll come back to earth when they play a real team like the patriots or 49ers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bouds Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Does the OP realize that we offered Harbaugh the job and he told us to get !@#$ed. His wife was also pregnant at the time and moving was probably not an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuntheDamnBall Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 He played well guys, he was going up against a lineman who was on the PS last year You know who else spent time on the Practice Squad, is Jason Peters, but carry on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
